Easy to assemble, only used it to try it out, it works as it should do. I like the fact that its easy to split in the middle, making it easy to carry in the boot of a car.
please note firs battery charge to full took over 2 hours
might be a bit to heavy for older people but an excellent product and can carry two batteries
This is a very powerful strimmer for the price. It has two batteries and you have to put both of them in which makes it a little heavy, it is quite large and are handled can be divided into parts contains the control wire that could get damaged if you need to separate it for storage, otherwise put a price on to spare spools. This will be hard to beat.
I have used this several times and found it to be easy to control using the handlebars. It is effective in strimming grass and weeds, including tender brambles, and the batteries last a reasonable time (~45 mins). So far I have only used the supplied 2mm cord and not the blade.
Previously I have used petrol strimmers and the avoidance of mixing fuel, filling and starting is much appreciated especially for shorter jobs.
The strimmer head works well and I have noticed that other customers have asked about purchasing replacement strimmer heads. If one is not available from Wesco, there should be no problem because the thread is a very common M8 * 1.25 left hand thread and there are several available from Amazon such as the Oregon 559060.
The time to charge the two batteries is about 4 hours with the supplied charger, but this can be halved if a another charger is purchased.
Cuts through grass/nettles very smoothly with the line head. The disc though? Wow! Bye bye grass, nettles, brambles, small shrubs!
Supplemented it with a brush-head to clear weeds on the patio and BANG.what weeds?! I spent more time sweeping up than actually strimming.
This is pretty good for the money. The brush cutter attachment in particular works really well. Battery life is fine. It is reasonably lightweight and does the job. Changing the strimmer to the brush cutter is straightforward if you read the instructions properly.
This is a great strimmer for my needs, had this a little while now. It seems well built. When charged full it gives about 30mins usage which is enough for me. The only thing is, when charging the batteries there seems to be a buzzing noise and when I remove 1 battery the buzzing stops. I tend to finish charging the batteries 1 at a time because of this.
I purchased the Wesco cordless lawnmower & was very impressed with its performance & quality. So I decided to also get this strimmer as it has matching batteries & charger etc. The strimmer also doesn’t dissapoint. It looks & feels like a quality piece of kit. Using it is very easy. It feels well balanced & very lightweight considering it’s quality build & sturdiness. The motor is extremely powerful & cuts through long grass with ease. The line spool has an automatic line feed which is activated by a handy button on the handle. Press the button & hey presto, more line is automatically fed out! The battery life is exceptional. I use it for well over an hour at a time & it shows no signs of stopping. This is the third Wesco product I have purchased & they all seem really good quality. I would recommend this strimmer or any other Wesco products without hesitation.
Seems like a good buy, with hardly any assembly, after using a strimmer blade strimmer I went back to the cord version as it is better to work with in my opinion, a bit footery to adjust the cutting head angle rather than a built-in lock, you put your foot on the motor and click the shaft to the angle you want.
I like the quality of the battery stimmer . Makes gardening easier without cables around your feet.
Great kit. I was worried, but it’s easy to use and not too heavy. Cuts the grass really well .
Can’t vary speed – it’s on or off unlike a petrol strimmer.
But, can change batteries with rest of garden tool range and it works really well.
Decent charge and easy to use.
More than most gardens need.

Great machine really powerful and long lasting cuts all my garden in one go easily and I have a large garden the only slight downside is it’s quite heavy I manage easily but I am quite strong I could imagine some people may struggle. You need to remove batteries when you have finished as they loose there charge if left on the strimer but again not an issue just need to remember to take them off.

The supplied line strimmer works well for lighter strimming although the bump line feed is a bit temperamental. The supplied metal blade disk is pretty good at the heavier work.
The 2 x 18v 4ah batteries (used together) last a good length of time – 45 mins to an hour and that’s when clearing the plot. I expect lighter, maintenance work would last even longer.
I did have trouble understanding the instructions to fit the blade guard but worked it out myself after a bit of trial and error.
All in all a good bit of kit that does the job that I wanted it for.

excellent piece of kit. no complaints , suits my way of working .
I don’t think charger will last its buzzing when charging 2 battery but 1 battery on its quiet that’s only why I give it 4 stars

I found this OK to assemble and easy to use.
Extremely easy to use ! Battery life is brilliant, no extension cord to drag around ! Did it’s job without any fuss whatsoever. Really pleased
Made short work of 8 foot high brambles and fireweed once I’d fitted an Oregon mulching blade. Quite hard on the shoulders as it is rather heavy but probably needs the heft to tackle tough weeds.

Very professional finish to the garden with this strimmer /edger.. Lightweight and easy to use once you get the hang of it.. The only problem I have encountered is the length of it
I’m not very tall and would have liked to be able to shorten the stem…
Just having to master my own technique
But performance and quality are brilliant.
PS.. Being a female OAP I had a bit of a struggle Putting it together.. Needed strength lol
I also purchased an extra battery as I have several small lawns all with tight edges and this tool just zips through it all
very easy to use does a very tidy job . the only thing it only last 20 minutes on a full charge
Had this just over a week and really impressed with how easy it is to use and how well it cuts. And batteries recharge quickly with powerful motor.
Must have garden tool.
Amazing!! By the far the best strimmer I’ve had, and that includes cordless and petrol strimmers. It’s really light and easy to manoeuvre. The strimmer is really powerful and gets through nettles, dock, grass and everything else really easily. The battery lasts a good while, it’s a bit shorter if you’re going over a more challenging area. It does take a couple of hours to charge the batteries but the dock charges both at once. It has all the power of a petrol strimmer without the weight or the choking.
I don’t have a large garden and I used to edge the lawns with scissors which was a bit of a back breaking task that took about 30 minutes. This literally takes about 10 minutes and leaves a really nice edge. Adjusting the head can be difficult as it can be stiff to move but other than that, it’s lightweight and very effective and no more trailing cables and extension leads to mess about with.
Only used it a couple of times – but very pleased so far – powerful; not too heavy; cuts through weeds/nettles/etc and the batteries seem to charge quickly.
Very impressed by the power as it got through quite thick and tall nettles and field grass. Light and easy to handle and although it has a feed button for the spool, it also autofeeds.
I did the same round my larger allotment plot (against much sturdier weeds) on two charges.
The brush cutter blade is immense. I felt nervous about hitting thicker stuff at first because you do get quite a bit of noise, but the true test was accidentally hitting and going through a piece of half inch tubular steel without realising I’d gone through steel and the blade came out undamaged.
I would say that on a full charge, you get an hour out of the batteries, which for most jobs is more than enough.
The unit itself is lightweight, but a little awkward to use at first and you definitely need to use the shoulder strap.
Putting it together was reasonably straightforward, but worth noting the bolt on the cutting head is a reverse thread. It’s not noted in the instructions and could cause you some puzzlement if you try to screw the nut on clockwise.
Cracking bit of kit.

I am very happy with this product. I wasn’t honestly sure what to expect, as the price point is reasonably high, but I’d not heard of the branding (I believe they’re Australian).
Having previously used many strimmers (the well known brand) I’d never actually used a battery powered one before, they had all been petrol strimmers – so I had no idea how much “juice” I’d get from a battery powered one.
I needn’t have worried – this strimmer is powered by TWO 18v 4.0Ah batteries, giving combined 36v! After an initial charge (perhaps an hour or two) on the dual charger (UK plug) – Whilst waiting for this I assembled the strimmer, as it comes in several parts for smaller packaging. Assembly was pretty straightforward, and the instructions were pretty easy to follow, which is always a plus.
I decided to finally tackle the strip of land by our new house – it’s on our drive, but owned by the neighbours, so neither of us have actually done anything about it, so it has got quite long, too much for a mower to deal with. I was pleasantly surprised how easily the strimmer cable dealt with the grass, it does take a little bit of technique when the grass is long – you don’t want to go straight into the lowest part of the grass, it’s much easier to “scalp” it in layers. Anyway, I got through it in around 30minutes, and was very happy with the end result.
The strimmer is pretty light, but has an adjustable strap to help take weight distribution to your shoulders, rather than arms. It runs pretty quietly. Obviously it’s far from silent, but I would say is significantly quieter than my old petrol strimmer. I’ve included a video to give you an idea of the volume levels. It also comes with an additional “brush cutter” head, this is metal and pretty hefty, though I’ve not found a reason to use it yet, I have no doubt it would chop through almost anything – ideal if you were strimming woodland of woody nettles, cow parsley and dock leaves – very common in the UK, and tends to burn through lots of cable – so this is an ideal solution. This head feels sharp and of solid construction.
The guards work well to prevent debris flinging on to your clothing. I wore overalls, but there was nothing on them when I finished, which I can’t say has always been my strimming experience!!
In terms of battery life, I would say it’s good, but not exceptional. I think if you’re doing any more than 1 hour jobs you’d need a second set of batteries. That strip of land left both batteries on 1 bar by the time I was done. The batteries have a built in level checker though, which is useful to gauge how much time you have! If I had a criticism, I’d say the charger doesn’t feel near the quality of the rest. It’s quite light and cheap feeling – but it does the job! I’d just be slightly apprehensive leaving it on charge overnight or anything.
Overall I think this item offers enough to get a five star review. It breezed through what I wanted it for. Two 4.0Ah batteries would usually cost around 60-80, so I think the value is fair, despite being relatively unknown in the UK. A solid item that will hopefully keep me in good stead with the neighbours for years to come!
This is a very powerful unit that will serve its purpose of clearing hard to mow areas of grass with ease.
It was easy to assemble for a competent DIYer (Without reading instructions, so can’t comment on how helpful they would’ve been).
The batteries charge quickly and hold charge reasonably well.
The performance is excellent and it does everything you’d expect it to do, and it does it well. Once mounted, I would suggest trying to balance it and get used to it before powering it on, this is to get used to the size and weight of the unit, which I personally found to be comfortable to carry around for a short length of time, as time passes, you do start to feel the weight, specially when the weather’s warm. Fortunately however, I didn’t need to use it for long as its power makes the job quicker.
I think it is more likely to have been designed for larger gardens or tradesmen who will use it to make a living, if this is you, then the unit would do the job brilliantly.
Price isn’t the cheapest, but the quality justifies it and it’s worth every penny.
Overall: Powerful and excellent quality item, would definitely recommend.
Fairly easy to assemble and comes with clear instructions. Comes with 2 batteries which charge on the charging dock. The trimmer is heavy duty and cut through my long grass/weeds without any problems. It’s very powerful and has good battery life. The trimmer comes with two heads. It has a slight weight to it but nothing too heavy and is comfortable to use/hold. The guard works well around the blade so the grass doesn’t fly everywhere. Easy to use and defo a great quality product!
me less than 10 minutes to put everything together. I think the battery comes partly charged but anyway I charged the battery until the green light came on. The trimmer is adjustable so you can adjust it accordingly. I haven’t used the battery more than 1/2 an hour. It works great and so far I am happy. Thanks
This is not cheap at over 200- so if all you want is a basic strimmer then there are cheaper options. However those come with long electric cables which are a pain. What stands out here for me is the 2 batteries which each have a use period of about 45 minutes which is as much as you are likely to use it for. Power is on a par with petrol ones and its a lot more hassle free than a petrol one and much cleaner. I found assembly to be very easy. Where it came into its own is in tackling my neighbours jungle. My neighbour has never doe a thing in his garden and it is an impenetrable jungle of brambles and weeds and wild life. The wild life I like which means more birds and even hedgehogs and foxes living there. So I am not that fussed about it. However I have wanted to clear a path down the line between our two properties where I have a 7 foot wire fence and numerous hedges to keep the foxes out and thereby protect my flowerbeds grass etc. I also have small pipes to let the hedgehogs into and out of my garden for snail and slug work. So anyway I was able to use this brush cutter function to clear a 6 foot path between our properties and thereby get rid of the infringing brambles. After that I have put down strong herbicide to kill the brambles in the path and stop them growing back. So now once a year I will go down there with the brush cutter and clear any offending growth and voila. Quotes I had in the past for this job were all close to a 1000- so this is really a huge saving for anyone wanting to clear a plot. It is tiring work and it does vibrate a bit but what do you expect when cutting through heavy brush. It does the job and I think its a great buy
This is a good cordless trimmer with two batteries, not as good as the green works I just tried because the batteries were a higher volts so it last longer. The quality is excellent on the par with green works and in performance just as good cuts brilliantly, light weight, strap to go over your shoulder makes it a lot easier to use. The only thing that lets it down is the battery life. Overall a very good product great for those little spot and you don’t have any electric point.
Lighter and quieter than the petrol brush cutter, does the job every bit as well and without the hassle of mixing fuel and getting it started. Was pleasantly surprised to get the whole garden done without having to re-charge. This product was purchased in hope rather than expectation but I’m very glad i did.
I needed a new string trimmer, because I was tired of my old trimmer nickel and diming me for repairs every year. My neighbour recently bought a battery powered trimmer, and he has raved about it.
Battery Life: battery life is surprisingly good. It will run for 50-60 minutes of cutting, with 85% of that time on grass using normal speed. Personally, after 1 hour of trimming, I am ready to quit, so 50-60 minutes is plenty.
Cutting power: Power for normal around-the-house trimming is excellent. I had no trouble cutting all around the house, edging my patio, cleaning around the end of my culvert, and edging my driveway, and I did it all in one charge.
Got this to help with edge grass which hard to get with lawn mover.
It came with easy adjustable handle and head brush.
On head cutting part it has spacer which ideal to set measurement to protect the plants.
When rotated side wise it has wheels and keys me wheel and do deep clean on corners where grass finish and concrete starts .
Battery life quite good last me all around the front and back garden moving. Unit came with battery, battery charger and two extra spools.
With summer up, looking for the best trimmer to light up the garden with a good look. as usually, the one in the market has more features, this caught the eyes with many features to do many things. Arrived quickly & well packed. Lightweight too & nice comfy handles to run long with ease. Have decent capacity of battery to clean up garden one go. Do comes with the additional spool lines. Have different angles settings to chop of any heights. The safety cover is strong & protective from high-speed threads lifting small pieces up. The motor does run at high speed & trims the grass with ease without repetition. Don’t forget 2 years warranty is the best investment item.
I’ve had much flimsier models that I’ve had to continually glue back together at the plastic casing or the strim blade continually needs replacing so it was a relief that thus was more substantial.
Decent length cable and easy to adjust the length of the strim cutter.
